China is a global manufacturing factory and an important part of the international supply chain system. In recent years, international procurement giants have taken China as the base of their transnational procurement industry. Purchasing talents is one of the scarcest industries in China. The three major demands of national procurement, enterprise procurement and government procurement have rapidly promoted the rapid growth of the procurement management team, from the original regional procurement to global procurement. On the one hand, with the influx of foreign capital and joint ventures, their demand for purchasing personnel with professional knowledge and skills is increasing day by day; On the other hand, many domestic enterprises must quickly improve the quality and skills of their own procurement personnel in order to better cope with challenges and shocks. Therefore, the competition for professional procurement personnel has become one of the competitive strategies of enterprises. Professional procurement personnel with both professional theoretical knowledge and rich practical experience have become very scarce talents in China.
While accelerating their expansion, many multinational companies are also trying to "dig people", from senior managers to ordinary purchasing personnel, all of which have become the targets of being dug, and the demand for talents in the whole industry is on a straight upward trend. According to national authoritative media reports, the demand for professional procurement talents in China will be about 1 10,000-10.5 million in the next 3-5 years, but the formal national vocational qualification certification and higher education in this field are still blank. In people's traditional concept, only production and sales are profit centers, and procurement is of course a "consumption center". If professionals adopt scientific procurement methods, they will spend less money and become a "profit center", and all they spend is pure profit. The authoritative research shows that the sales revenue will increase by 16% for every decrease in cost.
At home, the current salary level of procurement practitioners shows a trend of "a rising tide lifts all boats". According to the salary report of the first quarter of this year provided by a recruitment network, the average monthly salary of purchasing staff in Dongguan is about 4000 ~ 10000, which is about 3200 yuan in China. According to the statistics of talent exchange agencies in foreign companies, the average monthly salary of professional purchasing managers in big cities is more than 7,000 yuan, and the annual salary of professional purchasing managers working in foreign companies is 1.5-0.2 million. (The above data may be slightly different)

If you can grasp and make good use of these resources, it is not difficult to start your own business.
